Welcome!

Making connections between the books you read and your own life is an essential component of reading comprehension. In this blog, students in Ms. Stewart's reading development class will deepen their connections to their books by putting themselves in their characters' shoes.

Below you will read journal entries written by students as if they are the characters they are reading about. Journal entries describe the events taking place in the novel, as well as the students inferences about the ways their character feels about those events.

Please enjoy reading the students' thinking about their books, and feel free to share some of your own or respond to posts that interest you!

The boy in the woods part 2

Hey its sam again,



One nightI saw three deer around the Baron weasel. They were reaching toward the smell of salt. The Baron weasel jumed at my pants, and gave my leg in an awful nip. I guess I had grown some;my pants and socks did not meet anymore. I going to leave now. Bye!

-Sam (Modesto)










yours truly sam
